Hi Greg,

I use Kaffeine to receive and record Satellite TV, no problem. I also use 
Handbrake to convert DVDs. To create video I rather use Kdenlive.

My two problems for the moment are, as I said, that I can't get HD senders to 
show on Kaffeine-trinity (0.8.8/wheezy) and I can't produce a new channels 
list for either Kaffeine or VLC with w_scan because trying that hangs the 
computer. KDE 4's Kaffeine does not show DVB at all (but there may be a 
conflict, because I don't manage to start Kaffeine 1.2 from the cli, the very 
same command found in the TDE "start menu" starts kaffeine-trinity from the 
cli)

I _know_ that the DVB-C stick _can_ do HD because I do get HD TV with Windows. 
I have another machine running Jessie so I'll try on that one when I have the 
time to install the required driver.
